Review of the Savannah River Site Tritium Facilities Implementation Verification Review Processes
This report documents the results of an independent review of the implementation verification review (IVR) processes at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Savannah River Site Tritium Facilities. The review was conducted April 16-19, 2012, by the DOE Office of Safety and Emergency Management Evaluations, which is within the DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security. The review was carried out within the broader context of an ongoing program of assessments of the execution of IVRs at DOE sites with hazard category 1, 2, and 3 nuclear facilities. The overall purpose of these Independent Oversight reviews is to evaluate the processes and methods used for verifying and re-verifying implementation of new or substantially revised nuclear facility safety basis hazard controls. The objective of this review was to evaluate the extent to which the site contractor and the Savannah River Site Office have developed and employed appropriate implementation verification methods.
